Please Use Current Information

It's now known there are 2 kinds of crust, oceanic and continental, with both resulting on a deeper fluid mantle. Thus, a breakup of the 'fountains of the deep' (and possible volcanic activity) as described in Genesis could presumably lead to the kind of tear on such crust that might simultaneously erode the foundations of the continents. While we may not be talking about drift pertaining to the above-crust water bodies, what about below the crust?
Your source Continental drift - Wikipedia is poorly worded, the mantle is not liquid, rather a part of the upper mantle is relatively plastic compared to the solidity of surrounding layers.
See a more complete description of the asthenosphere from the same ultimate source here: Asthenosphere - Wikipedia.
Notice how this layer is not referred to as liquid, but rather plastic.
In the future you may want to consider using articles on plate tectonics instead of continental drift as a source of quotations since the top of the article you cite clearly states at the very top:
"This article is about the development of the continental drift hypothesis before 1958. For the contemporary theory, see plate tectonics."

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.

But Which Planet?

I would absolutely LOVE to see Buz explain the physics behind his "vapor canopy."
- How the equivalent amount of water could be suspended in the upper atmosphere without causing debilitating pressures beneath
- How the equivalent amount of water could precipitate without poaching the earth's atmosphere
- How the equivalent amount of water could possibly affect the decay rates of multiple radioactive isotopes in a congruent fashion.
- How the equivalent amount of water could possibly allow enough light to traverse to foster photosynthesis at the earth's surface.
Buzsaw's vapor canopy does exist (except for the affecting decay rates part). The problem is that planet is not Earth, it is Venus.
Yeah, I know, virtually no water vapor and lots of carbon dioxide, but that is what happens when a planet gets 'poached.'
One should remember, the Buzsaw (Woodmorappe) hypothesis is literally "out of this world," meaning it has nothing remotely rational to do with this planet or its inhabitants.
It is about Venus.
